Loft conversions are one of the best ways to add extra space to your home, without extending its overall footprint.
Whether you are looking to add an extra guest bedroom, a stunning master suite, a quiet new home office or even a teenage den, there are so many ways a loft conversion can be utilised that it usually isn’t hard to find a solution that fits.
A well-designed and executed loft conversion can also add value to your property — plus they are the most cost-effective means of adding space, particularly when compared with extending out or adding a new basement.
Despite their many benefits, there is plenty to consider before embarking on a loft conversion project. Some projects not only require the existing space to be converted, but it might also be necessary to extend the roof in order to increase the available headroom and space.
For this reason, it is crucial to know what kind of project you are stepping into and what it might entail. Our team will help you through each stage of your project to establish the key design and cost objectives, to assess the condition of your property and to summarise any likely planning constraints or building regulations before agreeing a working brief and delivery strategy.

I cannot recommend Andy and the RBD team enough – absolutely fantastic. I engaged Andy on a major project for 6+ months. At all times he was super professional and knowledgeable. I was DELIGHTED with the results and will definitely use him again!
We are still early in the construction phase but we’re very pleased with the excellent design and advice we’ve received from Andy Willis so far. Our project has been complicated and unusual for various reasons and Andy has gone above and beyond in helping us. Andy has been great at steering us, drawing out what we were looking for and organising us and our priorities. Andy’s great at communicating regularly and we’ve been really pleased at his level of care and attention. We just can’t wait to see the final house, and then I’ll be back to update my review!
I employed RBD Architecture & Interiors to renovate a London townhouse into 2 apartments. Andy did a fantastic job of laying out the space in both properties resulting in both apartments achieving the full asking price in record time. His designs were clever, utilized all available space, and looked fantastic, quickly reminding me of the added value an architect can have on any property. I am currently doing another similar development in London as well as renovating a holiday home in the West Indies and using Andy for both properties was the obvious choice. I am excited to see both come to fruition. If you are looking for a smart and easy-to-work with architect who understands your brief and goes beyond that by offering intelligent solutions to any design problem, then look no further.
RBD have helped with the redesign of various parts (living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms) of our London home over recent years. We are delighted with the results – the mix of arresting vision and ‘fit for use’ practicality. We plan to continue using them in the future.
We were exceptionally pleased with the work done by RBD. They took into consideration all of our asks, came up with innovative solutions for maximizing storage, and worked extremely closely with the builders to ensure the entire process went smoothly from start to finish and that the end result was exactly what we were looking for from an aesthetic and practical perspective.
